There are some home truths in store for a stunned Abi Branning in an upcoming EastEnders episode – as her sister Lauren makes a shocking revelation about Lucy Beale’s murder.

As the video clip above shows, Lauren continues to try and convince Abi to help her get justice for Max. Recalling Lauren’s insistence that Max was innocent from the outset – despite all of the overwhelming evidence against him – Abi wonders what was behind her sibling’s unwavering loyalty.

Lauren is then forced to admit that she knew all along that Bobby killed Lucy – leaving Abi reeling.
